Dear Direk,

I am more than happy to nominate Prof. Ya-Lei Chen, National Kaohsiung Normal University, Taiwan,  as a candidate for the committee. Prof Chen has dedicated whole his scientific life in melioidosis in Taiwan for more than 20 years. With his experience and knowledge I have no doubt that he will be contributing a lots to the field.

Best regards,

Duen-Wei

Dear everyone,

 

 

I would like to update that there will be a delay in the process for IMN Committee (for Election).

This is because the number of nominees is not high and it is with in the range that IMN Committee need to discuss further for the process to do (with in the process that we have set a priori in case that the number of nominees is not high).

 

Due to some additional processes and Holiday season, the update on the process for IMN Committee selection needs some more time, and I will update everyone again for the final conclusion among the committee.  

 

 

Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year

 

Direk
